Sniper rifles, all removed.

There, authenticity problem solved.

[Dazed 80]

Such a horrible thread. Removing MK-48 Mod for the PKM? You know the PKM takes your backpack slot right?

Yes. So?

Huh... Two removed, Three changed, only one really changed to something different...

Useless thread.

[Deuzerre 64]

Useless thread.

Thanks for the input, really. It's probably as helpful to anyone as this thread is interesting to you.

[SandMan20 11]

VSS Vintores is not a medium range weapon. It fires special 9mm rounds and is effective to 300m MAX. You would use that gun at 150m usually and it arguably has the worst stopping power of any gun in ARMA (aside of side arms). Please never put that gun in game.

Also KSVK is not "basically the same" as the AS-50. KSVK is bolt action, AS-50 is semi auto with adjustable zoom.

So does M107 and AS-50 in the actual ARMA game, but for some reason DayZ has it so you can have a backpack and M107 or AS-50. Most LMGs do this too. There must be something in the code to keep backpacks enabled no matter what.

[MastaOfDisasta 30]

I am glad you're not the Dev. I don't need 100 versions of an AK and some of my fav weapons removed.

[Stonedknight 26]

logical choices but makes for very bland gunplay.

DayZ has it so you can have a backpack and M107 or AS-50. Most LMGs do this too.

I think this is probably one of the bigger deals with the sniper rifles. If the one shot kill rifle was bolt action and took up a backpack slot, I seriously doubt it would be the staple for all griefing encounters.

[gnkcrow@web.de 4]

Nope nope nope bad Suggestion no beans for you sir.

[TwinkiePinkie 280]

Remove MP5SD?!

This is my favorite Weapon and I can't see why?

[Tag (DayZ) 2]

Knives. I want to sneak up behind people and slit their throats @_@ But I like this thread, I get what you were going for.

[Tag (DayZ) 2]

Game isn't about the gun play. I wonder if you have a KoS policy?

[Swineflew 480]

Show me on the doll where the mean sniper rifle touched you.

[Bludy 324]

i agree, but the m9 is quite common all over the world. pdw and winchester are totally out of place, but you can explain all the high rate military with the foreign intervention, not just some yes and some not, they are sufficiently rare

[wolfstriked 143]

I think Mosin Nagant is in the recently released Iron Front Liberation for A2 so it could be ported over.Look in this video to see it.

[Lord Sloth 8]

Mosin Nagant instead of Lee Enfield is a great idea why are there British WW2 Weapons in the USSR(or whatever) probably being used as civilian hunting or self defence guns. The M4 and such sort of make sense since they could be from a coalation force that was sent to support during the initial outbreak.

[Hudson633 28]

I liked the idea of having the Nagant replace the Enfield, since the Enfield and its .303 ammunition is too common for such a place in the world. I'd be happier if it atleast came with a bayonet.

[Pappyjump 9]

I dont understand the changes to all Russian weapons. You do understand that the outbreak happened when the United States was fighting Chernerus? (Spelling?) Thus it would be completely appropriate to have Nato weapons in the game.

[JamesR 74]

Chernerus is supposed to be the Czech republic right? So why aren't there any CZ75's?

[Tracker (DayZ) 7]

No, add more weapons to the existing ones.

[sheephunter 19]

The ONLY reason I'm playing the game at the moment is because of the possibility of finding new and different weapons.

If you get rid of half the weapons, the game gets old real fast.

Maybe when the game has been fleshed out a LOT more, could you get away with this.

Until then, I would unfortunately say no.

[Lupin-III 44]

OP, your ideas are bad and you should feel bad.

[Deuzerre 64]

OP, your ideas are bad and you should feel bad.

I feel bad now, you happy? YOU HAPPY?

Developing the reasons for the changes:

- There currently is no real known setting to the game, except that it's supposed to be in the eastern block. Those weapons are "Eastern".

As for the KSVK, the reason why I consider it to be equivalent is that it's Russian and the same calibre. In terms of gameplay, as a bolt action, it has the feel of a sniper rifle, not just the scope. It's still a one-hit kill, but with more skill. I thoght snipers considered themselves skilled for their shots?

For the VSS, it's a very different weapon, so people that complain about variety should have what they want. It's not really strong, but it has a good range... For a silenced weapon.

I am glad you're not the Dev. I don't need 100 versions of an AK and some of my fav weapons removed.

Glad you're not a dev, otherwise there would be only your favourite weapons and nothing else, for a very limited experience. AKs are really varied you know.

I dont understand the changes to all Russian weapons. You do understand that the outbreak happened when the United States was fighting Chernerus? (Spelling?) Thus it would be completely appropriate to have Nato weapons in the game.

That's why there still are two variants of M4s, a MP5, FN FAL and L85.

What I don't understand is why most of the green weapons aren't in anyway. RPK, PECHENEG, silenced AK, RPG.
